All of these plants are available at the Nursery

​They grow a lot of their own stock which are already then hardened for the environment, and do well in gardens. Other plants they get from selected growers and handpicked suppliers with whom they have wonderful relationships.

Landscaping:Landscape Guru André Beaurain always even as a child had a passion of placing plants in the right way in the garden. They have designed gardens from 10 000m² to minute patios and even singular pots.

André's love for South African succulents changed the way people look at Rockeries and Aloe Gardens, and Corne’s love for Orchids always find a way into peoples Gardens by adding a Conservatory or Tree ferns, for stem plantings.

Their stunning Garden Designs include all types and tastes of Gardens, from very formal to Meadows, Fynbos, Water, Rock, Vegetable, Shade and Dry Gardens. The incredibly neat installations and planting makes for a perfect marriage between plants and hard landscaping. Living in the Swartland the landscaping always brings the beauty of the Renosterveld into the garden, which always forces you to stop and look.The Landscaping team is very proud of the fact of never having an unhappy Client.

Orchids are collected not only for their beauty but for breeding purposes and Corné does regular crosses of wonderful Cattleyas , Angreacums, Cymbidiums and of course the blue orchid Zygopetalums with their very fragrant flowers, of which they have our own line of crosses.
